1ST PSALM

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord!What peace and joy to feel so close to you!Our heart and soul ring out their joy this morning,We long to meet you , God, the living God

The sparrow even here has found a shelterThe swallow by your altars builds a nest.O happy those whose dwelling is your temple,Who day by day your praises sing, O Lord.

One day within your courts indeed is betterThan thousand days elsewhere afar from youTo wait upon the threshold of your templeIs better than to waste our life in vain.

O Lord, you are our strength and our protectionYour favour and your glory, grant us nowRefuse not any good to those who love youThe people that is yours for evermore.

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord!What peace and joy to feel so close to you!Our heart and soul ring out their joy this morning,We long to meet you , God, the living God
